Menominee is located on US-41 in Menominee County. Indian for wild rice country. Farnsworth & Brush built the first sawmill in the area in 1836, soon followed by others. The settlement was given a post office on May 23, 1863, with Norman Soule as its first postmaster. The Chicago & Northwestern Railroad reached here in 1871. Incorporated as a city in 1883. Named after the Indian tribe from whom the federal government obtained the remainder of the Upper Peninsula by treaty in 1836.

Menominee North Pier Light Station, Harbor Drive, Menominee, MI 49858, Phone: (906) 963-2679. The first light was built in Menominee in 1877 to guide ships to the Menominee River. The current tower was built in 1927. The 34-foot tower was painted white and integrated with an attached fog signal building. The light was automated in 1972 and at that time the iron catwalk was removed from the pier. The tower was then painted red and relocated to a concrete platform in the center of the crib. The octagonal cast iron lantern room once housed a fourth order Fresnel lens. Today, a 300mm optic lens operates.
